cross slide rotate the cross slide handle to feed the leadscrew nut out from under the cross slide backlash adjustment as shown in figure 88. leadscrew nut Backlash is the amount of play in a lead screw. it is felt when turning a handwheel in one direction, then turning it in the other direction.
gib adjustments on the cross slide, moving the gib toward the back of the machine increases pressure and moving the gib toward the front of the machine decreases pressure. there are three main gib adjustments for the Model g9036: the cross-slide gib, the compound the gib is moved by rotating the screws at both slide gib and the saddle gib.
